Paul Allaire was a US businessman and a member of the Bilderberg Steering Committee. He headed Rank Xerox. A 1999 study put Allaire as one of the six most central members of the transnational capitalist class[1].

Career

He was first hired by Xerox in 1966. Allaire was named CEO in August 1990, succeeding David T. Kearns who retired at the mandatory age limit of 60.[2] Allaire was elected as the company's chairman on May 29, 1991, after Kearns accepted an appointment as Secretary of Education in the administration of President George H. W. Bush.

When Allaire became CEO, Xerox had billions of dollars in insurance liabilities, so he methodically disentangled the company from property and casualty insurance and other financial-services businesses. Allaire also rolled out cost-cutting and new product technology introductions, including the first digital copier-Document Center. In 1994, Allaire rebranded Xerox as "The Document Company" to signal its ambition to move far beyond copiers, as the growth of desktop computing stimulated huge increases in the number of documents being created.[3] Under Allaire's "Leadership through Quality" program, Xerox was the first U.S. company to win back lost market share from the Japanese. Allaire earned a reputation throughout his Xerox career as a cost cutter who reorganized departments and increased market share.[4]

Fraud

In 2003, the SEC accused Allaire and five other Xerox executives of allowing the company to overstate its profits by $1.4 billion over four years. Under a settlement, Allaire will pay a $1 million penalty and forfeit $7.6 million in bonus pay and proceeds from stock sales at Xerox, but will neither admit nor deny wrongdoing. In addition, he is barred from serving as director of a public corporation for five years.[5]

Connections

He was a member of the Bilderberg Steering Committee. After Xerox, he was Chairman of the Board of the Ford Foundation.

He served as Chairman of J P Morgan & Co Inc. since May 1991 and served as its Director since 1997. He serves as a Director of Sara Lee Corporation. He served as a Non Executive Director of Lucent Technologies Inc., from 1996 to June 2003, Priceline.com Inc. from February 1999 to June 9, 2003, GlaxoSmithKline PLC from May 23, 2000 to June 5, 2003 and SmithKline Beecham PLC. He served as Director of Morgan Guaranty Trust Company of New York. He serves as a Member of the Boards of Council on Competitiveness, Council on Foreign Relations, New York City Ballet, and Catalyst. Mr. Allaire also serves as a Member of The Business Council and National Academy of Engineering; Trustee of Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Carnegie-Mellon University." [6]
